cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A215928 a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2) for n > 2, a(0) = a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2.

Number of 132-avoiding two-stack sortable permutations. See Theorem 2.2 of Egge and Mansour which gives a generating function equation P(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + x*(P(x) - 1 - x) + x^2*(P(x) - 1) + x*(P(x) - 1 - x).

a(n) is the top left entry of the n-th power of any of the 3 X 3 matrices [1, 1, 1; 1, 1, 1; 0, 1, 0] or [1, 1, 0; 1, 1, 1; 1, 1, 0] or [1, 1, 1; 0, 0, 1; 1, 1, 1] or [1, 0, 1; 1, 0, 1; 1, 1, 1]. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 03 2014
